What Were the 10 Most Read Posts on MilesTalk in 2021?
I’m glad you asked!
I almost forgot to write this post (I last did this in 2019 and skipped last year’s bust of a year 😉 ).

Capital One Spark Cash Changes: Won’t Report to Personal Credit Bureaus
While the Spark Miles card still reports to your personal credit file, Capital One stopped this practice on new Capital One Spark Cash cards. When they discontinued that for the Spark Cash Plus, they maintained this benefit.

However, it will still report a credit inquiry with all three bureaus as is usual with Capital One when you apply.
